East-West Interchanges in American Art: Jacquelynn Baas

Description:

Jacquelynn Baas, emeritus director, University of California Berkeley Art Museum. "Before Zen: The Nothing of American Dada" "A Long and Tumultuous Relationship" East-West Interchanges in American Art October 1--2, 2009 This two-day symposium at the Smithsonian American Art Museum explored the complicated interactions between American and Asian artists and visual traditions from the eighteenth century to the present. The history of American art has long been discussed primarily in terms of European training and influence. When scholars have looked eastward, they often have considered the Asian influence on art of the United States as a unidirectional and limited development, suggesting that Asian culture was monolithic and unchanging while characterizing American artists as dynamic and original in their ability to absorb and meld the best of diverse global outlooks.

Panel Discussion: Stories of the Prophets

Description:

Can understanding the Torah, the Bible, and the Qur’an increase empathy and connections among cultures that are often at odds? Join a conversation with local faith leaders on the similarities and differences among prophetic traditions in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The stories of Noah, Abraham, Jonah, Mary, and others play a key role in all three religions. Their stories are told differently, and the lessons for the faithful are not always the same, yet all three faiths see themselves as following the tradition of Abraham. In this interfaith dialogue, an imam, a minister, and a rabbi share the teachings they take from these ancient tales. Panel members include Imam Talib Shareef, Rabbi Jack Moline, and Reverend Donald Isaac. Made possible in part through the support of the El-Hibri Foundation.
